Hi guys, looking some opinions, for my planning kansai itinerary

1) what other nice place/things to explore in Kobe beside mount rokko and arima onsen? Looking for day trip to Kobe

2) To decide either spend day trip to Himeji or Wakayama. Which one more interesting?
Thanks for all opinions and helps notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

if you go Himeji just for the castle, i think half day enough

Guys, for USS osaka, I am thinking to buy both the ticket and express pass at Klook.

Anyone use that before? Is it reliable?

Or are there any way to get the USS express ticket earlier before I go into Japan?
*
don't really need the express pass if you pick the right day to go

Still snowing? really ? My wife and I have never seen and experience snowing at all in my whole life. Thanks for telling me. How's the temperature there?
*
not snowing. You can see snow but not that kind of snow flake falling.

No need winter clothes. A spring coat alone is enough.

yup, i m landing at Narita then transfer to Domestic to Itami...
that means i will need to complete clearance at Narita through custom, then re-check in to domestic?
cannot go through transit directly?
*
actually you don't have to worry much. The airport staff from ANA will actually guide you through after you disembark from your international arrival plane

Hi guys. The plan is as such :

7am -Arrive at Narita 
9am - Meet up with remaining group and head to Nagano/Yudanaka
12pm - Reach Yudanaka and walk to Ryoken and Drop off bags
1pm - Snow Monkey/Chill/Onsen hopping
7pm - dinner

Next day
7 am - Breakfast
8am - Check out & Snow Monkey (if didnt see the day before)
11am - at Yudanaka Station and head to Matsumoto
5 pm - Finished around Matsumoto.

Now at this point I need your advice, should I go straight to Kawaguchiko or go to Tokyo and head to Kawaguchiko next day? Seems like a long trip if directly to Kawaguchiko from Matsumoto. Both seems like the train will eat up a lot of time. If any of you guys have tried this route i'd love to know.

Thanks.
*
I took from Tokyo to Nagano. the journey via shinkasen only can easily take up half your day. so its better to go next day in the morning, return to tokyo, then the day after tokyo, only you go kawaguchiko

Hi. I’m new to this forum and need some help with my Hokkaido planning. My party of 5 (2 adults with 3 kids)  will be visiting  a few places in Hokkaido for 10days in Early December.
(1) is it easier to rent a car or use public transport?
(2) Can we use Uber in Japan?
(3) for short trip of about 20mins/13km, how much would be the taxi fare?

Thanks!
*
1) public transport is efficient, but considering that you are going during winter, heavy snow storm will cause service disruption and closure of train
2) No Uber no grab. Only taxi. But i googled and it says Uber available in Tokyo
3) taxi fare is expensive. they surely use meter and first min/km is about 700 Yen

Thanks. I have also googled what's in Odaiba and confirmed that I have missed out quite a lot. Will certainly pocket all these info and keep it for future.

Any comments on Fuji Q theme park? And disneyland vs disneysea
IDP IDP IDP. I really should've applied for IDP prior to going Tokyo cause I missed out the mario kart experience and I definitely regretted it!!
*
disneyland = disney park with Land theme. You see castle as the center landmark
disneysea = sea based park. The parade show is on the lake/river at the center. Volcano as the center landmark

most people say disneysea is more for adult and disneyland for kids. actually its a lie. Both can be suitable for both adults and kids

disneysea is special at night when the show started

Hey guys , it's my first trip to Tokyo and would like to know which SIM card is good for tourists?

Currently I'm planning to buy a Mobal SIM has anyone used it before?

Also , can I bring my luggage on the jr trains in Tokyo ? Would it be quite packed during peak hours?
*
their pack during peak is very pack until you can't wipe your sweat. carrying with a luggage? possible but you have to be smart icon_idea.gif

QUOTE(MyStiC @ Oct 30 2018, 08:24 PM)
Thanks for taking your time to reply!

Do you suggest maybe staying in Kanazawa for 2 - 3 nights, Shirakawago 1 night (As we would like to stay in one of those farm houses), then to Nagoya? I am planning to send off my luggage from kyoto to osaka and just hand luggage.

I had a look at those JR passes and found a tourist pass called Takayama-Hokuriku Area Tourist Pass, do you recommend getting this pass? I calculated the expenses for my trip and don't think buying JR pass will save my cost.

you already answered your own question biggrin.gif

When you got share code flight, you sure have the booking number that you can use to check your booking in JAL website.

By right you can see your booking already

Hello guys, I am going on a last minute planning for a solo trip to Tokyo this December.
This is my first solo trip and first trip to Japan.

I know December is a less ideal time to travel in Japan due to the weather and short-daytime, but this is the only time I can travel before I begin my next job during January.

This is my rough itinerary thus far.
12th of December (Wednesday) Day1: Ueno, Ameyoko, Akihabara
13th of December (Thursday) Day 2: DisneySEA
14th of December (Friday) Day 3: Mt Fuji Tour (Go or No go?)
15th of December (Saturday) Day 4: Asasuka, Sensoji, Tower, River Cruise to Odaiba (7pm Fireworks every Saturday during December)
16th of December (Sunday) Day 5: Yoyogi, Meiji, Harajuku, Shibuya, Shinjuku
17th of December (Monday) Day 6: Kamakura Day Trip.
18th of December (Tuesday) Day 7: Tsukiji (just to makan, I know there's no more market), Ginza, Tokyo Station, Imperial Palace, Roponggi Hills, Tokyo Tower
19th of December (Wednesday) Day 8: Chill/pack luggage/ last min shop around (Maybe Ikebukuro?), Flight late night.
I will be staying at Sadou Hostel at Ueno, due to its close proximity to train station and recommendation from my friend. Also its looks very decent for its price.

Right now, my main concern is the Mount Fuji day trip. I haven't arrange anything for that day yet.
I am not sure if its really worth it. (I am looking at https://www.govoyagin.com/activities/japan-...=asiatravelbug)
I heard Mt Fuji view should be clear during Dec due to cold/dry air of Winter.
However, some people say some areas might be closed due to frozen roads?

Can anyone advise on any changes I should make in my itinerary? Is it too packed or anything?

I would like to ask if RM4000/110k Yen is sufficient as pocket money for the 8 day trip. (Ignoring accommodation costs and Disney ticket)
*
yes...the one i bold one pack. depending on what you plan to do there. if just "touch n go" and you don't plan to stick around for long then it shouldn't be a problem

you planning any shopping? if yes then it may not be enough. otherwise its more than enough. you can bring a credit card/ATM card to backup
